They are also not taken care of. Not only that, they are taken care of, but now child or baby is being killed. This is Kali-yuga. This is conclusion. And how one can be happy? So many sinful activities are going on. How they expect to become happy? It is not possible. Therefore it is being asked that "Whether you are thinking of all these things and therefore you are unhappy?" Sober man becomes unhappy. Para-duhkha... Especially Vaisnava. A Vaisnava has no problem for himself, but he has many problems for others. Because a Vaisnava... That is Vaisnava, unhappy by seeing others unhappy. That is Vaisnava. That is a first-class Vaisnava, para-duhkha-duhkhi. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu. By His practical example... He was a very learned scholar, many students, very respectable.He was so respectable in Navadvipa that in one night He collected a hundred thousand of people to challenge against the Kazi's judgment, civil disobedience. Kazi acted against sankirtana, so Caitanya Mahaprabhu challenged, "Now, tonight, we shall perform sankirtana with 100,000 of people." And 100,000 of people gathered together and chanting and went to the house of Kazi.
